I can see a very limited but useful use for these.  I have a couple of windows that are impossible to clean from the out due to sloping roof extensions with valleys.  As usual there is a window right in the middle.  My customers have asked if I could just give them some kind of clean they would appreciate it.

Would be nice to offer the complete service - I hate leaving anything.

Anyone tried this befoe I waste my money - or any other suggestions.

Love it.  :D

There are plenty of people with windows that wfp or traditional wouldn't reach. Have a look at some domestic propeties in the center of London, or Amsterdam. Or any big city for that matter. This would be very helpful for those individuals, even if it doesn't do a 100% job, it's better then nothing at all.

Totally agree. We have some awkward windows in commercial buildings. WOuld be great for these if we can make it work.

Does anyone know if these work on double glazed units?

Also, what is the best model to buy?

They make two, one for single glaze and one for double.Hence the colour red and blue.

One of my custies had one of these for a window above a conny roof that the previous wc could not get to.

She hated it, left marks and kept falling off the glass  ;D

Thanks for that Stan I needed a laugh.   ;D

The thing that will damage WFP is the wallies who buy it and think it's a magic wand.
WFP is the future, same as squeegees took over from shammy leathers, it's a better way of doing it, but like squeegees needs to be done correctly or it won't work
